Luna

“It was lunar symbolism that enabled man to relate and connect such heterogeneous things as: birth, becoming, death, and ressurection; the waters, plants, woman, fecundity, and immortality; the cosmic darkness, prenatal existence, and life after death, followed by the rebirth of the lunar type ("light coming out of darkness"); weaving, the symbol of the "thread of life," fate, temporality, and death; and yet others. In general most of the ideas of cycle, dualism, polarity, opposition, conflict, but also of reconciliation of contraries, of coincidentia oppositorum, were either discovered or clarified by virtue of lunar symbolism. We may even speak of a metaphysics of the moon, in the sense of a consistent system of "truths" relating to the mode of being peculiar to living creatures, to everything in the cosmos that shares in life, that is, in becoming, growth and waning, death and resurrection.”

― Mircea Eliade, The Sacred and the Profane: The Nature of Religion

Countless are her aspects, here are three: Selene, Luna, Hekate. All incorporate two distinct and specific attributes: Woman and Moon. Her monthly lunar cycle is implicitly linked to both a woman's menstrual cycles and the three phases of womanhood: maiden, mother and crone. The most visible symbol of feminine energy in our cosmos, she represents water, emotions, oceans, mists .Represented here as Luna, She is inconceivable mystery, gentle but capable of commanding oceans and always faithful to her nature. She is the luminous numinous, and Her power is never diminished.

Whether overseeing altars or presiding in some solitary nook, may she serve as a quiet reminder that even within the dark of night, there will always be her light to guide you through.
